Hardik suddenly throws the bottle towards Gill. Fans are finding it disrespectful.
New York: It was a dream start for India at the T20 World Cup as they beat Ireland by eight wickets at Nassau County in New York. A couple of days after the game, a clip has surfaced on social space that shows India allrounder Hardik Pandya’s behaviour towards Shubman Gill. In the clip that is going viral, Hardik can be seen drinking water from a bottle near the boundary ropes as Shubman Gill gives him company. But as the bowler is in his stride, Hardik suddenly throws the bottle towards Gill. Fans are finding it disrespectful. Here is the much-talked about clip:

Due to his poor form in the IPL 2024, Hardik’s selection in the T20 World Cup 2024 had also come under scrutiny.
Hardik scored 40 runs off just 23 balls in the practice game against Bangladesh. But against Ireland, he did not get to bat as India won the game by eight wickets.
“What happened in the IPL was a slight temperamental issue because he was feeling the pressure from outside. The environment might not have been good. I am not at all surprised that he will feel slightly relaxed and relieved after donning India’s and not the Mumbai Indians’ blues. He has the ability and I am repeatedly saying that he is a big-match player,” the former India batter sanjay Manjrekar said.
